The exceptionally talented Rock group Electric Light Orchestra have released their CD entitled A New World Record. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Electric Light Orchestra fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of A New World Record their artistic excellence is on full display as they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be their best work to date.
Electric Light Orchestra have been a heavy hitters in the Rock genre for quite a while now and A New World Record is an excellent illustration as to why.
These days it"s a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.
Overall A New World Record is an outstanding release. Quite possibly Electric Light Orchestra"s best to date. Really spectacular from beginning to end. If you"re even mildly into Rock music you"ll enjoy this CD.
While the entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 7 - Above The Clouds, track 14 - So Fine, and track 15 - Telephone Line.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Tightrope. Wow!
